Mikas 6
1 Hør, hvad HERREN taler: Kom fremfør din Trætte for Bjergene, lad Højene høre din Røst!
Now hear that which YHWH is saying: “Rise—strive with the mountains, And cause the hills to hear your voice.
2 I Bjerge, hør HERRENs Trætte, lyt til, I Jordens Grundvolde! Thi HERREN har Trætte med sit Folk, med Israel går han i Rette:
Hear, O mountains, the strife of YHWH, You strong ones—foundations of earth! For a strife [is] to YHWH, with His people, And with Israel He reasons.
3 Hvad har jeg gjort dig, mit Folk. med hvad har jeg plaget dig? Svar!
O My people, what have I done to you? And how have I wearied you? Testify against Me.
4 Jeg førte dig jo op fra Ægypten og udløste dig af Trællehuset, og jeg sendte for dit Ansigt Moses, Aron og Mirjam.
For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, And I have ransomed you from the house of servants, And I send Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you.
5 Mit Folk, kom i Hu, hvad Kong Balak af Moab havde i Sinde, og hvad Bileam, Beors Søn, svarede ham, fra Sjittim til Gilgal, for at du kan kende HERRENs Retfærdsgerninger.
O My people, please remember What Balak king of Moab counseled, What Balaam son of Beor answered him (From Shittim to Gilgal), In order to know the righteous acts of YHWH.”
6 "Med hvad skal jeg møde HERREN, bøje mig for Højhedens Gud? Skal jeg møde ham med Brændofre, møde med årgamle Kalve?
With what do I come before YHWH? Do I bow to God Most High? Do I come before Him with burnt-offerings? With calves—sons of a year?
7 Har HERREN Behag i Tusinder af Vædre, Titusinder af Oliestrømme? Skal jeg give min førstefødte for min Synd, mit Livs Frugt som Bod for min Sjæl?"
Is YHWH pleased with thousands of rams? With myriads of streams of oil? Do I give my firstborn [for] my transgression? The fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?
8 Det er sagt dig, o Menneske, hvad der er godt, og hvad HERREN kræver af dig: hvad andet end at øve Ret, gerne vise Kærlighed og vandre ydmygt med din Gud.
He has declared to you, O man, what [is] good; Indeed, what is YHWH requiring of you, Except—to do judgment, and love kindness, And to walk lowly with your God?
9 Hør, HERREN råber til Byen (at frygte dit Navn er Visdom): Hør, Stamme og Byens Menighed!
A voice of YHWH calls to the city, And wisdom fears Your Name, “Hear the rod, and Him who appointed it.
10 Skal jeg tåle Skattene i den gudløses Hus og den magre, forbandede Efa,
Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred meager ephah?
11 tilgive Gudløsheds Vægt og Pungen med falske Lodder?
Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?
12 Dens Rigmænd er fulde af Vold, dens Borgeres Tale er Løgn, og Tungen er falsk i deres Mund.
Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.
13 Derfor tog jeg til at slå dig, ødelægge dig for dine Synder.
And I also, I have begun to strike you, To make desolate, because of your sins.
14 Du skal spise, men ikke mættes, lige tomt skal dit Indre være; hvad du hengemmer, skal du ej bjærge, og hvad du bjærger, giver jeg Sværdet;
You eat, and you are not satisfied, And your pit [is] in your midst, And you remove, and do not deliver, And that which you deliver, I give to a sword.
15 du skal så, men ikke høste, perse Oliven, men ikke salve dig, perse Most, men ej drikke Vin.
You sow, and you do not reap, You tread the olive, And you do not pour out oil, And new wine—and you do not drink wine.
16 Du fulgte Omris Skikke, al Akabs Huses Færd; I vandrede efter deres Råd, så jeg må gøre dig til Ørk og Byens Borgere til Spot; Folkenes Hån skal I bære.
And the statutes of Omri are kept habitually, And all the work of the house of Ahab, And you walk in their counsels, For My giving you for a desolation, And its inhabitants for a hissing, And you bear the reproach of My people!”
